Abstract
We report highly photosensitive organic phototransistors (OPTs) based on a 2,5-bis-biphenyl-4-yl-thieno[3,2-b]thiophene (BPTT). The measured maximum sensitivity and the ratio of photocurrent to dark current (Iph/I dark) in BPTT OPTs were 82 A/W and 2.0 × 105 under 380 nm UV light with 1.55 mW/cm2, respectively. The prepared OPTs show a photocurrent response similar to the absorption spectrum of BPTT. The major mechanisms for photocurrent amplification in this device were verified from experimental results as photovoltaic (turn-on) and photocurrent effect (turn-off) by a fitting to theoretic equations.
